Awaking from the sleep she had fallen into, Y/N raised her head from her desk and looked around. She fell asleep on top of her now-finished essay. It was 5.30 am and all she felt was unwell. Her back and neck ached from the position she fell asleep, her head hurt from the long period she slept and her throat felt dry. She tried to yawn, but she felt a deep pain irritating her throat as she yawned. She held onto her neck and thought about what could have caused this. sure she felt a sting or two in her throat this morning, but not as strong and painful as it was now.

Getting up and heading to the kitchen, she remembered when she got a sore throat as a kid. Instead of tea, her mother always gives her ice cream to help her. As a young child, she didn't deny it but never understood how that worked, but it helped her in a matter of few days with the addition of honey and cough drops. At the moment in their shared apartment, there wasn't any ice cream so ice-cold water would do the trick before looking in the medicine cabinet for cough drops.

She still felt a pounding in her head but it had gotten bearable. The quiet and dark made her feel at peace, it made her feel better. after rummaging in many cabinets to find what she was looking for, she decided to call it a night and buy some on the way to school. She wouldn't mind going to Bubu Pharmacy to see Qiqi in the morning either.

Her room was filled with a cold atmosphere that Y/N grew to enjoy very much. College heating is too expensive to have turned on all the time, isn't it? The room was plastered with books and photos of her friends. Somehow holding a messy yet organised system, that only Y/N knew how to guide through. It challenged her brain and she liked it that way. The crosswords and chess set laid on top of her desk along with the many band posters stuck on her walls was a direct sign of her wanting to improve her mind in many ways, both intellectually and creatively. She called this her home and wasn't planning on changing a bit of it in soon time. Laying down on her bed she closed her eyes in the hope to sleep until her alarm rang. But now all the tiredness had left her body and all that was left was a backache and sore throat instead. She turned and huffed in her bed unable to even close and eye. It was too early to get ready for school yet too late to try and sleep again, so all that was left was to wait for collei to get up and go to the pharmacy.
